It was a familiar feeling for Murray, whose last three matches on the Paris clay have now ended in defeat to his Swiss rival.
Andy Murray waved goodbye to the big stage at Roland Garros for probably the final time after a first-round defeat to Stan Wawrinka at the French Open.The first was the epic semi-final defeat in five brutal sets in 2017, a match which ultimately proved too much for Murray’s hip and almost forced him into retirement.
In fairness, the 37-year-old Scot had done well just to get here having ruptured ankle ligaments nine weeks ago. But he wrapped it up at the next attempt as Murray sent a forehand long and looked at the sky in disgust. The second set went Wawrinka’s way after another makeable Murray forehand whistled into the net, and the third was frankly a procession, won with, predictably, a backhand.
